Hi Guys,
I hope you are well. Please see below please see below details of three massive companies that have been breached recently. On a sidenote I seem to be reporting on massive breaches like this on a regular basis. It is time for these big companies to start looking at their security more seriously. We can help!! – Call us!! 🙂
Alleged A&TT (unverified) – 49,102,176 breached accounts
In March 2024, tens of millions of records allegedly breached from AT&T were posted to a popular hacking forum. Dating back to August 2021, the data was originally posted for sale before later being freely released. AT&T maintains that there has not been a breach of their systems and that the data originated from elsewhere. The incident exposed names, email and physical addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and US social security numbers.
ClickASnap – 3,262,980 breached accounts
In September 2022, the online photo sharing platform ClickASnap suffered a data breach. The incident exposed almost 3.3M personal records including email addresses, usernames and passwords stored as SHA-512 hashes. Further, a collection of paid subscriptions were also included and contained names, physical addresses and amounts paid.
Flipkart – 552,094 breached accounts
In September 2022, over 500k customer records from the Indian e-commerce service Flipkart appeared on a popular hacking forum. The breach exposed email addresses, latitudes and longitudes, names and phone numbers.
If you have an account with these three companies, please do the following:
* Change your password and make sure your new password is at least ten characters long and contains an upper case, lower case, number, and symbol. You can even use a modified phrase or a line from a song if that helps you remember
* Ensure you do not use the same password twice, leaving you vulnerable to credential stuffing.
* Find a good password manager tool to help you remember your passwords. Some of our users say that 1Password is a good tool.
* Check out Incognito’s Email Hack Check tool. All you have to do is enter your email address, and we will tell you instantly if it has been involved in one of the many data breaches that happen every day.
Please let me know if you need any help with this.
All the best,
